Wetlands Park Friends and Clark County Wetlands Park are collaborating on a multi-part lecture series! This lecture will be given by Ranger Lauren Parry of Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument:

 

Ice Age Wetlands in the Las Vegas Valley

For over 100 years, scientific investigation has revealed stories of our past at Tule Springs Fossil Beds. Stories of past environments, animals, and people have been interpreted from the rock, fossil, and archeological records of the Tule Springs area, but how have those stories evolved with us? This talk will explore the natural history of Ice Age Las Vegas and how water has transformed the Valley for the last 570,000 years. Learn how science can evolve and reframe our past with new perspectives and technology. 

 

This program is intended for teens-adults.
